In an effort to work as effectively as possible within the party, I have decided to create a list of Endelthil's abilities that either directly or indirectly affect other members of the group. It is my hope that (as time allows) we could all post such lists on the blog so that we can become aware of how to best create favorable conditions for each other, whether in combat or otherwise. Nulara's Stunning Strike, for example, creates the stunned condition, giving all party members advantage on their attacks against that target. I have highlighted the core elements of Endelthil's synergistic abilities to allow for easier reference. Direct synergies are in green (affect another party member directly), while indirect synergies are in blue (Create a condition on Endelthil or an enemy that benefits the party in some way). Happy reading!

You are particularly familiar with one type of natural

environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in

such regions. Choose one type of favored terrain: arctic,

coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp,

or the Underdark. When you make an Intelligence or

Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your

proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that

you’re proficient in.

W hile traveling for an hour or more in your favored

terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.

• Your group can’t become lost except by magical

means.

• Even when you are engaged in another activity while

traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking),

you remain alert to danger.

• If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at

a normal pace.

• When you forage, you find twice as much food as you

normally would.

• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their

exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they

passed through the area.

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use your action and

expend one ranger spell slot to focus your awareness on

the region around you. For 1 minute per level of the spell

slot you expend, you can sense whether the following

types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you (or

within up to 6 miles if you are in your favored terrain):

aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends,

and undead. This feature doesn’t reveal the creatures’

location or number.
